Drama Teacher

About us

Plumstead Manor is a thriving and popular secondary school located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. There has been a school on our site since 1913, with the first 105 years as a girls’ school. In response to local demand we admitted our first mixed cohort in 2018 and are now fully co-educational.

Ours is vibrant, diverse and inclusive school with over 60 languages spoken across our community. We have a clear vision founded on excellence and justice, with the ambition to offer a world class education to the young people and families of Greenwich. Our recipe for success is based on high quality teaching founded on academic rigour, blended with the expectations, support and guidance to create a safe and happy environment. Above all, we want our young people to leave school equipped with the powerful knowledge and necessary skills to change the world for the better. In order to foster successful young people and cultivate harmonious communities, we aim to offer young people excellence in all that we do, so that they can overcome any barrier in their lives and secure greater justice. Our curriculum offers a range of pathways, blending the mastery of knowledge with the development of transferable skills, which see our young people progress onto a full range of future pathways including medicine and veterinary science, courses at the most competitive universities as well as high-quality apprenticeships.

The role

We are seeking an inspiring and enthusiastic Drama Teacher, who shares our vision and commitment to high aspirations for academic scholarship, good behaviour and personal development. The ability and willingness to teach across the performing art subjects (drama, music, and dance) is desirable but not essential.
